Images aren't showing when used in the non-default language

[bugok]

Issue description

I have a website using congo. When adding image references to the non-default language - images aren't showing up in the post.

Repro steps: clone my repo, with the submodule:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:bugok/blog dksjbkdsjb

Run hugo locally, show drafts:

hugo serve -D

See that http://localhost:1313/he/posts/kindle_hebrew_font/ doesn't show the image:

When running the build command, I don't see the images in the public directory, alongside the html file:

hugo -D
...
$ ls -l public/he/posts/kindle_hebrew_font
total 56
drwxr-xr-x  3 noamler  staff     96 Jun 14 09:46 ./
drwxr-xr-x  8 noamler  staff    256 Jun 14 09:46 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 noamler  staff  27947 Jun 14 09:46 index.html

For the English site - images are showing up properly.

When I change the default language to Hebrew in config, it does work:

$ git diff
diff --git a/config/_default/config.toml b/config/_default/config.toml
index 926ab6c..5304317 100644

Then, loading http://localhost:1313/posts/kindle_hebrew_font/ does show the image:

This seems to be very similar to this issue: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12163

But, not quite the same.

Maybe this is a hugo issue, and not a theme issue?

OK, this is my misunderstanding how to do multi language images in hugo.

Looking at the documentation: https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#page-bundles, I found that I needed to rename the image files with the language suffix.

Meaning, if I have an image.jpg, I would need to rename it to image.he.jpg. When referencing this image in markdown, reference it as image.jpg
